Pros: Virtual first means we are primarily working from home, and we have the option to visit the office if we want. The pay is competitive with all the top tech employers. I've never felt burnt out because my manager is always on top of making sure we have breaks and paying attention to our work-life balance.

Cons: I wish we still had the cafeteria. I heard it was legendary.

Pros: Good opportunities to create something which will have a direct impact on 175 million people. Relatively young average age of co-workers. Most of them are quite cool people, not standard nerds. You can hang out with Guido (creator of Python) during breakfast, who has an awesome sense of humor. Staff spends a lot of time together. Great free food. The tuck shop is the best; I wish they worked on weekends. Realizing your own ideas. Hackweeks twice a year. Flat organization structure. Just two layers between intern and CEO, so it's easy to reach your voice to top management. The CEO sits among other employees and is a great guy.

Cons: Most people work more than 40 hours a week. It's normal for a startup like Dropbox, but if you have a family, it can be a problem. Office is near AT&T Park, so streets, restaurants, and shops are crowded during matches. Probably, you will be very demotivated after you leave this company.

Pros: Well-built management team that truly seems to value work-life balance. Industry-leading benefits. Seems to remain committed to a virtual-first commitment (despite cutting some of the benefits). Reasonably flexible working hours with core hours for meetings. Quarterly paid on-sites to hang out with your team and get to know each other better. Working among some of the best and brightest, alongside a very strictly curated culture. I can genuinely say I enjoy working alongside my teammates. Continues to try and innovate (occasionally at their detriment, see cons).

Cons: - Pivots too soon on bets, feels like we're chasing the industry rather than innovating. - Recent instability at the company and current "Moving Faster" directive has employees on edge. - You can definitely feel it in the atmosphere during meetings. - Upper management should recognize the remaining employees deserve some sort of morale booster after recent RIF, rather than further cuts to benefits. - You will not pull in industry-leading talent if your employees aren't your advocates.
